Israeli PM sheds statesmanlike persona as scandals mount

With a slew of corruption scandals closing in on him, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is dropping what remains of his statesmanlike persona in favor of an angry nationalism that's popular with his base.Casting himself as an innocent outsider, the long-serving prime minister blames Israel's old guard "elites" for the array of inquiries into his financial conduct. He has been lashing out against the media and an all-powerful "left wing" for supposedly conducting a witch-hunt against him, while associates have taken to sniping at the court system and police as well.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s eldest son has taken down an anti-Semitic Facebook post aimed at his father’s critics following a public outcry from Israeli political leaders.

Yair Netanyahu, 26, posted the meme on his public Facebook page. The image depicted American Jewish billionaire George Soros and a figure that resembled Nazi depictions of Jewish people manipulating former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and two leaders of weekly protests calling on Netanyahu to step down over corruption allegations.

The image appears to be a local take on a classic anti-Semitic meme suggesting that Jews control the United States. It has appeared widely on extreme alt-right websites. In this instance, it depicts his father's perceived foes: American Jewish billionaire philanthropist and investor George Soros, outspoken former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, activist Eldad Yaniv and Meni Naftali, a former housekeeper for the Netanyahu’s who successfully sued them for mistreatment.Netanyahu captioned the meme “the food chain.

The opposition Labor Party’s chairman Avi Gabbay told Army Radio the post “crossed every line imaginable,” saying it was a “very sad” day for Israel and the Jewish people when the prime minister’s son posts a cartoon that the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan agreed with.

On Twitter, Barak wondered whether Yair, who has a state-funded driver and bodyguard, absorbed such ideology at home.

Israel's Netanyahu says will meet Trump in New York next week

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday he would meet U.S. President Donald Trump in New York later this month during a visit to New York, where he will address the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 27. Netanyahu spoke to reporters accompanying him on a trip to Latin America before his plane left Tel Aviv for Argentina on Sunday night. He will also visit Colombia and Mexico before heading to New York."From Mexico I will go to New York to speak at the United Nations General Assembly and there I will meet my friend, President Donald Trump," Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu’s eldest son has come under fire for previous social media posts. Last month, he tweeted following the violent rally in Charlottesville, Va., where one American died and dozens were injured. The “Unite the Right” rally was organized by white supremacists protesting the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue from a Charlottesville park.

“I’m a Jew, I’m an Israeli, the neo nazi scums in Virginia hate me and my country. But they belong to the past. Their breed is dying out,” Yair Netanyahu wrote on his Facebook page. “However the thugs of Antifa and BLM [Black Lives Matter] who hate my country (and America too in my view) just as much are getting stronger and stronger and becoming super dominant in American universities and public life.”

The Netanyahu family is facing a slew of corruption allegations.

The prime minister has been questioned about his ties to executives in media, international business and Hollywood. His associates have been engulfed in a probe relating to a possible conflict of interest involving a $2 billion purchase of German submarines. Israel's attorney general has said he intends to indict the prime minister's wife, Sara, for fraud over her household expenses.

The prime minister has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, portraying the accusations as a witch hunt against him and his family by a hostile media. He has resisted increasing calls to step down.
